Tory MP David Davies recently caused outrage when he suggested that parents wanted their children to be heterosexual and that plans to legalize gay marriage were barking mad.

Now the politician has attempted to defend his comments by saying that he has not done years of diversity training. Mr. Davies continued opposition to gay marriage and outspoken comments have angered equal rights campaigners and the MP admitted that he has been tactless.

In an interview with the Guardian, the 48-year-old said: I havent done years of diversity training, so sometimes I say things which are probably tactless, and I dont mean to, to be honest, I dont mean to do that. But these feelings are hard to articulate, and the trouble is that if you try to, and get it wrong, which I probably, frankly, am doing now, youre going to get no end of abuse for it, and upset a whole load of people, some of whom I actually quite like.

And not even all of that group does. I heard on the Savage nation an adult homosexual male call in and he himself told Michael Savage if he ever had a child he would never want him to be homosexual since it’s such a dangerous lifestyle.

Probably because most parents want to be grandparents and even great-grandparents someday(and not via a turkey baster). Where did this “radical” idea come from? Only from all of human history prior to the 21st century.

Dennis Prager put it best when he tells Jews to (he’s Jewish) “Preach what you practice”. Brilliant advice for people that live as conservative as any evangelist, but support the most whacked out left wing causes imaginable.

From what I’ve read years ago when all of the gay PC started, not even gay parents wanted their kids to be gay. They would prefer their kids not to feel the isolation and weirdness they felt growing up.

The day will eventually come when they’ll be able to tell whether a child is going to be a homosexual or a heterosexual. Then we’ll see how tolerant all the lib parents who aren’t homosexuals are. I’ll bet if abortion is still legal, they’ll kill their homosexual kid before it’s born. They might approve of homosexual marriage and adoption, but they sure don’t want their children to be homosexuals. They won’t tell that to their homosexual friends though.

In reading the article excerpt it was hard for me to discern if the MP actually backtracked, or was just expressing regret that he didn’t express his opinions (which he hasn’t changed ... yet) in a ‘friendlier’ or more tactful manner. I.e, rather than calling someone who supported sodomite marriages as being ‘barking mad’, perhaps he should have just said that they ‘were in error’ .... either that, or just a bunch of wankers...

Yes, what he said was “tactless”, but not fact-less. It was basically a true statement that everyone knows to be true, but we don’t want to say it for fear of offending people. Still, when those facts are challenged by the homosexuals, it is them who force us to discard tact, so they have no right to be offended.

I have a metro nephew. He's married and straight but 'sensitive' to his gay friends (most of whom he met through his wife. We had this discussion a while ago in a local bar/restaurant and he swore that he 100% accepts the notion that there is absolutely nothing different or wrong about gays.

A guy I coach football with came in with his wife and stopped to say hi. I introduced my nephew as being gay. He didn't like it. I won the point.

Funny story. I’m glad I’m not part of the generation that have been brainwashed with all this ludicrous PC nonsense. No one would ever want their child to have homosexual leanings or be seen as “gay” by others.

I strongly disagree. Homosexuality is either genetic or hormonal, most likely the latter. No normal person is going to believe sex with a person of the same gender is appealing. At least as a heterosexual, male I’ve never seen another male I’ve thought of as sexually appealing. The thought is revolting.

“Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.” sniphttp://catholiceducation.org/articles/sexuality/ho0003.html
